It seems to me to be more &quot;true&quot; to your type of writing in other books (and I&#39;ve read quite a few) and is more in keeping with the concept of a &quot;cozy&quot;. &quot;B&quot; is more dark and suggests that the book is going to be more of a &quot;thriller&quot; along the lines of Koontz and King. More the dark side of man and suggestive of no hope. If I did not know you, I would pick up &quot;B&quot; if I was looking for a book that is filled with despair and agony, a book more along the line of what happened with the Lindbergh kidnapping where the baby was killed and left in the woods. The only thing that I would probably add to &quot;A&quot; is a baby rattle next to the shoes. But one that uses bright colors. You have been in journalism enough to know that the reader&#39;s eye enters the page from the upper left and proceeds rapidly in a clockwise motion. I would probably present the shoes askew to suggest mystery. But I most definitely would go with &quot;A&quot;. Does this help?Randy Eickhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10302909967873564863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30975557.post-80173571501060668642017-05-06T22:55:09.924-07:002017-05-06T22:55:09.924-07:00I like the cracked lumber boards, not to hot on th...I like the cracked lumber boards, not to hot on the shoes. The second what makes the woman look in a certain direction &amp; I always love shades of darkness &amp; shadows. I go with #1, it makes your name look bolder, I buy the book for the author, I can read the cover for free. Victor Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09044107923534611824noreply@blogger.com
